Challenges and perspectives in implementing whole-exome sequencing in Algeria lessons from a fully autonomous in-country cohort

This study implements whole-exome sequencing in Algeria for neurodevelopmental disorders, achieving molecular diagnoses in 8/14 cases and highlighting challenges in variant interpretation and database underrepresentation.

Efficient reconciliation of genomic datasets of high similarity

The paper introduces a method using IBLTs and syncmers to efficiently estimate Jaccard similarity and identify differing k-mers between genomic datasets.

Fast and compact matching statistics analytics

The paper develops faster and more memory-efficient tools for computing and analyzing matching statistics between large genomes, enabling practical applications in comparative genomics.

Set-Min sketch: a probabilistic map for power-law distributions with application to k-mer annotation

The paper introduces Set-Min sketch, a probabilistic data structure for representing k-mer count tables with improved accuracy over existing methods.

A framework for space-efficient variable-order Markov models

The paper introduces a space-efficient framework for variable-order Markov models, reducing memory usage by up to 100 times compared to previous methods.
